as hosts of the international elvis festival for the last 15 odd years,our town has coined a word that is now in some dictionarys it is "elvii" meaning of course more than one elvis

7:20 am

lynxxx

hi Cross

7:21 am

hurshy

oh my, i had the weirdest dream

7:21 am

crosshair

because when us locals used to see a bunch of them all geared up and drunk at the bar,we had to have something "hey bob! did you see that bunch of drunk elvii hitting on mary the bartender?"

7:21 am

crosshair

howdy lynxx

7:23 am

lynxxx

we have a town in NSW that has an annual Elvii Festival - 15,000 attended a couple of years ago

7:25 am

crosshair

very nice:) though i can tell you after 15 years of it,many of us would gladly let another place have the honour

7:27 am

crosshair

if you are in the hotel or food business or bars,you do well but everyone else starves for a week as the town is held hostage by fat men in white jumpsuits dripping black hair dye all over the place

7:27 am

lynxxx

Elvis impersonators over here seem to do pretty good business

7:28 am

crosshair

and the first time i saw a chinese female midget twins elvii, i almost drove my car into the bay lol

7:29 am

lynxxx

they obviously had a lot of things going for them!

7:29 am

crosshair

yes,but accuratly singing "love me tender" was not one of them

7:30 am

lynxxx

lol

7:33 am

lynxxx

this last half is veeerrry slow

7:34 am

rbud

hi, all! We have a step-nephew who has done Elvis impersonating for years, he's something else. Last time I saw him do his thing, he was hours late getting started, being a primadonna about this and that - you'd think he was the real thing.

7:34 am

crosshair

funny par is we are a town of 22,000 and it is situated in a arch almost with blue mountain to the west of town and the curve of georgian bay going from west to south then east in a long curve so the town sits in the south-west corner.now this is very pretty but the mountain now also acts as a sound refraction unit and when 500 elvii start up first thing saturday morning with a strirring rendition of "jailhouse rock" every single person in every home in town can feel theri bones vibrate with this catchy tune lol

7:34 am

lynxxx

hi Rosebud.

7:35 am

crosshair

howdy rbud

7:35 am

lynxxx

think i would rather have an Elvis festival rather than the Grand Prix

7:36 am

mm you may be right there lynxx

do not say that too loud though or we will end up with the first international elvii grand prix

7:52 am

rbud

oh, and I don't own a blender (never have, I know, see how I am?) so I'd have to use my trusty mixer instead...

7:55 am

smores

that will work just fine rbud - I put the recipe on as it was written, I always use the store brand version of Bisquick

7:56 am

maggiej

I don't use blenders either rbud ... nor a processor.

7:57 am

7:10 pm

Minveryork

It took me ae4/4s to do grid. Even though my fireworks are an5/10, I have given up at 182 words.Now here is a story of clues. I ea 4/4 a living as a teacher. Sometimes I make my students at5/10 for their er6/18 behavior by keeping them in at recess and jo 4/9ing me to do some extra work.If they refuse to come I go get them and ma 5/16 them in 4/4 my room. Depending on the age, I do different things with them at recess. Sometimes I make them write a paragraph on why it is important to follow school rules on a piece of ch5/14 paper. For older kids, I make them study their math fa 7/44. Sometimes I will have them look up fa5/18 about a topic and take notes Sometimes,I'll have the kids straighten up my classroom to make it look ne 4/4er. I believe th4/5 there is no ha 4/6 in having the kids do a little extra work.When I was talking to one little girl named Ma5/12, she was ne 4/4 to having tears. I felt bad so I let her go to recess.Some students think I am mean, but I do not give one io4/4. I would rather have the students believe I'm mean th 4/5 not hold them responsible for their behavior.Husband is about to st4/4 up trouble and ra4/4 and rave about my computer usage. I am going to get off my re4/4 and I'm going to go watch the ac5/12 Ma4/5 Damon in the film "The Bourne Identity".If I am not too ti4/4d, I will come back in 4/4 the ch 4/6 log later tonite. Ch4/6 for now!

ok so here it is...I fell in my driveway on slippery leaves on friday...fell pretty hard on my right side...my right arm is killing me..I dont think anything is broken but I cant lift my arm. Yesterday was absolutely miserable. Today I an move it to the side about 2 inches but cant lift it.....I have been icing every 4 hours and taking either ibufrofen or Aleve....I will go to Doctor tomorrow if not better than today..any suggestions?

7:39 pm

Riverdance

if I rest my arm on the table I can type without moving it....at least I have that

7:39 pm

MollyL

No medical training whatsoever, but sounds like a shoulder issue. Dislocated?

7:40 pm

firefly779

I was going to also say shoulder dislocation...

7:40 pm

Riverdance

if I press on it It hurts more on the outside of my arm but I do have tenderness pressing in the front between my shoulder and arm but not as bad as the back side

7:41 pm

MollyL

Damage to the rotator cuff?

7:41 pm

Riverdance

my shoulders look the same in the mirrow....it was a bi*** taking a shower

7:41 pm

Riverdance

Mirror*

7:42 pm

MollyL

You could have just damaged a whole bunch of soft tissue. Sorry you're in so much pain.

7:42 pm

Riverdance

I cant do dishes or laundry....cant lift my arm...I am a useless failure right now...that doesnt help with my miserable husband that is filing for divorce....ugh!

7:43 pm

MollyL

*Puts on steel-toed boots to deal with useless husband*

7:43 pm

Riverdance

thanks

7:44 pm

MollyL

And you are not a useless failure River. Just temporarily disabled. Be good to yourself.

7:44 pm

Riverdance

just having a low moment...sorry

7:45 pm

firefly779

I say hit a clinic and get checked out, sounds bad enough to warrant such

7:45 pm

firefly779

My dad dislocated his shoulder and years later had to have surgery. It's worth checking on.

7:45 pm

Riverdance

I will do that tomorrow if I can drive myself there...I have a standard transmission and will see if I can deal with taht

7:47 pm

Riverdance

it was a bit better today so am hoping it will be a bit better tomorrow too...I think just badly bruised....I would think I would feel a break or tear...but who knows!

7:47 pm

firefly779

Low moments hit us all. I've been on the couch all day with a miserable headache and feeling useless too, to my husband and three kids, but life happens and we all go down sometime.

I live in a small town 20 miles out of the city....its me or call in sick

7:49 pm

Riverdance

I miss you Stid, how are you

7:49 pm

stidmama

River, I think you need to see a doc -- there are so many issues that it "could" be and only some of them will resolve on their own.

7:50 pm

firefly779

So sorry River. This too shall pass. I live about the same ways out of town too, so I understand.

7:50 pm

stidmama

I am well, thanks river. Tired -- helped all day at a community event. Working at least three days a week now, which means I am earning enough to pay for my student loans, transportation expenses and if I am lucky put a little aside for a retirement account. So glad I am not trying to support myself!

7:50 pm

Riverdance

I know and plan on going tomorrow if not substantially better.....my Doc is not open on the weekends and you dont want to got to the hospital on the weekend as hardly any staff is on, besides I promised my son I would take him to the pumpkin festival last night and I did.

7:52 pm

Riverdance

I didnt drive...a friend of mine and my sons best friend....we all went and it was fabulous...dont need to move my arm for that

7:52 pm

firefly779

Tomorrow it is then River! I bet your son was happy ;)

7:52 pm

stidmama

glad you were able to go, and have a good time, river.

7:52 pm

Riverdance

Stid, I hope you find something soon, you sure worked hard for it

7:52 pm

firefly779

Good for you stid, very productive you are.

7:53 pm

MollyL

River I think you're doing everything right with the ice and the Aleve/Ibuprofen. That is as much as you can do without higher caliber pain killers.

7:53 pm

Nef

Good Evening, Everybody. How are you all this evening?

7:53 pm

stidmama

eventually I will, river -- it's tough finding work in rural areas, even for teachers. I won't teach more than a certain distance from my home because I won't move. No job I can get would pay enough to justify moving.

7:53 pm

See River's post at 7:38

7:54 pm

stidmama

river has a boo-boo...

7:55 pm

Nef

reading back now

7:55 pm

Riverdance

I have a very high tolerance for pain but this right arm is just killing me

7:56 pm

Riverdance

if I try to left it....if it is still like this resting on the table there is no pain...I go to reach or bear down, it is brutal

7:57 pm

MollyL

I have a high tolerance for pain too, River. So when the pain is unbearable, I know something isn't right.

7:57 pm

Riverdance

what would I do without my babble friends

7:57 pm

Nef

River, this needs to be checked ASAP. I've already forgotten: when did you do this?

7:58 pm

Riverdance

I lived with many years of female pain and bleeding before I found a Doc that didnt tell me this was normal and dealt with it.....its hard to find good health care

7:58 pm

Riverdance

Friday night Nef

7:58 pm

Riverdance

I fell hard on my right side...took the brunt of hit on my right arm

7:58 pm

Nef

and this is Sunday, so it's 48 hrs after injury, right?

7:58 pm

Riverdance

I dont thing there are any breaks

7:59 pm

Riverdance

but may have jammed my shoulder and severely bruised my arem

7:59 pm

Riverdance

yes

7:59 pm

Nef

where on your arm or shoulder does it hurt the most? Can you put a finger on the spot?

7:59 pm

Riverdance

I can move my arm out about 2 inches today...couldnt do that yesterday

8:00 pm

Riverdance

back of my right arm halfway between my shoulder and elbow and some tenderness in front between my should and breast

8:01 pm

Riverdance

back of my arm is the worst....I can not lift it at all but can now go to the side a bit

8:01 pm

Nef

you need to ice it the first 48 hours (to prevent as much swelling as possible), after that you should use heat (to get the blood flow to increase in the area) BUT if you've been taking ibuprofen that much; I'm not so sure.

8:02 pm

Riverdance

with this latest icing I can actually move it about 6 inches sideways but still not up...just took the ice pack off

8:02 pm

Riverdance

I have been icing since yesterday, maybe I now need to start heat?

8:03 pm

Nef

the NSAIDS (aspirin, Ibuprofen, aleve, etc) can slow the clotting time of blood; how much bruising do you have?

8:03 pm

Nef

and how much swelling?

8:04 pm

Nef

what did you fall on?

8:04 pm

Nef

(flat ground/cement, or rocky drive way or soft ground?

8:06 pm

Riverdance

I dont bruise or swell up easily...nothing is showing...it is all internal

8:06 pm

Riverdance

I fell on my driveway that is blue stone with slippery leaves

8:06 pm

Nef

and have you tried to elevate and immobilize your arm also?

8:08 pm

Riverdance

oh ya....I fell that night and felt nothing....came in house, played on computer, went to bed and when I got up I was in agony...took aspirin first as that was handly....came downstairs had got some ice, then later in the day took ibupofen, started the aleve today because I ran out of the other but have been icing about 4 times a day

8:08 pm

Riverdance

I have been sitting on the couch reading with my arm up on a pillow so yes

8:09 pm

Riverdance

so no chores done...my husband will be crazy about that...just one more pressure

8:10 pm

Nef

medical people often say you should RICE limb injuries: Rest, Immobilize, Compress, and Elevate

8:11 pm

MollyL

River, if he's so all fired crazy about that, he can do the chores. : P

8:11 pm

Nef

oh, just tell him to put a cork in it! Or you put some ear plugs in;

8:12 pm

Riverdance

I love you Nef...thank you....do you think I should try heat now...I have an herbal pack I can pop in the microwave...I have just been doing ice to get the inflamation down

8:13 pm

Riverdance

I am so sorry everyone for taking over the chat and running everyone off....please come back my friends

8:14 pm

MollyL

Oh please River. No need for apologies.

8:14 pm

firefly779

I'm just reading and watching ;)

8:14 pm

Nef

You don't need more pressure; but you do need a good hands-on medical diagnosis. You didn't answer if you can put your finger on one specific spot where the pain is; so I'm going to assume this may be mostly soft-tissue injury. But that includes tendons, muscles, rotator cuff, etc. Right now your main focus should be to take car eof yourself

8:15 pm

MollyL

Nef, I think she said mid upper arm, outside and inside.

8:16 pm

Nef

that was take care of yourself. If you just started icing yesterday, maybe continue icing (20 minutes an hour) overnight

8:16 pm

Riverdance

to press = the worst part is on the side of my right arm between elbow and shoulder

8:17 pm

Riverdance

I will continue icing...thanks so much nef...abreciate it

8:17 pm

Nef

so then it might be a cracked or broken bone too.

8:17 pm

Riverdance

my typing sucks

8:18 pm

Riverdance

I feel very inadequate, River. I'm a nurse; haven't got my medical degree; but I've seen enough injuries in the shoulder to know that you need it checked as soon as you can do that.

8:19 pm

Nef

My daughter broke her humerus (on my B'day!) when she was 9; my Aunt had a rotator cuff injury, a neighbor kid broke his collar bone in the neighbor's front yard a few years ago; etc. The collar bone injury caused a visible deformity, the other 2 did not. None were able to lift their arms....

8:44 pm

Nef

queasy tummy today, Jilly.

8:45 pm

Jillyjill

Darn! *hands nef a ginger tea*

8:46 pm

MollyL

Ginger tea is the best for an upset stomach.

8:46 pm

Nef

I've been sipping that all day, Jilly; but a little beef broth seems to be helping more than the tea

8:46 pm

Jillyjill

HI there mols! Sorry I was too busy to anwer your question on the Pats earlier...my son lives near Boston...I'm a Pats fan as his mom.

8:47 pm

Jillyjill

Are you making your own tea out of fresh ginger nef?

8:47 pm

lbdawger

Minveryork

Goodbye stidmama! Good luck teaching the kindergartners

8:48 pm

Jillyjill

Nope, a truly beautiful sunny day here! How about you?

8:49 pm

Minveryork

Hello Jillyjill! How are you doing? Welcome back to the log

8:49 pm

lbdawger

cold here and a couple showers of grauple.

8:49 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations lbdawger on your fireworks! Good for you!

8:49 pm

lbdawger

hi min, hi torgie

8:49 pm

Nef

No, DH did that for me this evening. I was using some "Traditional Medicinals" brand tea earlier. But I was feeling hungry, so tried the broth and it helped!

Well, whatever makes you feel better Nef is good. Nice for DH to take good care of you!!

8:50 pm

lbdawger

ooh, that would have gone well with the homemade minestrone I had for dinner. Nef, sorry your tummy is upset.

8:50 pm

Minveryork

I made spaghetti too, but I cheated. My sauce came from a jar. I also added meatballs & sausage. It was yummylicious

8:50 pm

Jillyjill

Dawg, it was about 50 degrees here, but a VERY cold morning

8:51 pm

Nef

Laundry is calling me now. I'll be back in a few minutes.

8:51 pm

Nef

YAY, lbd!!! WTG!!!

8:51 pm

Jillyjill

C U soon nef

8:51 pm

lbdawger

i think we might have gotten up to around 40 today.

8:52 pm

Jillyjill

Well, I have tons of fresh tomatoes and home canned tomatoes...prevents one from "cheating" LOL

8:53 pm

lbdawger

i just canned 6 quarts of tomatoes and have some more that are ripening up quickly for maybe another jar or two.

8:53 pm

Jillyjill

Your icon is great dawg!

8:54 pm

Jillyjill

Whatever makes it til next weekend gets canned. I do hate to see fresh tomatoe season end...

8:57 pm

lbdawger

it took forever to get my tomatoes to green up then an eternity to get them to ripen.

8:59 pm

Jillyjill

Got my whole garden in a little too late, no corn, and if we could have held off the frosts for another week I would be floating in ripe tomatoes.

8:59 pm

lbdawger

are yours still on the vine? we picked all of ours about three or four weeks ago...hard freeze took the herbs.

8:59 pm

MollyL

*Imagines Jilly floating in a sea of tomatoes*

8:59 pm

Jillyjill

Plus the damn hornets were eating my strawberries and only started getting any when it was turning cold.

9:00 pm

Jillyjill

No, mine are all picked. Had the same hard frosts. Lost my basil too...but it wasn't doing well anyhow.

9:00 pm

lbdawger

bumper crop on the tomatoes this year. my poor roses just didn't get enough warmth to have a good showing.

9:00 pm

Jillyjill

Yep, weird weather.

9:01 pm

Jillyjill

*throws some tomatoes at molly*

9:01 pm

lbdawger

my cilantro went wild...took over the pot it was sharing with the basil and thyme.

9:02 pm

Jillyjill

LOL, my cilantro story is that a few years ago, hubby offered to help weed while I was at work. He pulled all my cilantro. Looked like a weed to him!

9:02 pm

Jillyjill

So, now the early weeding is left to me..thankfully

9:02 pm

lbdawger

lol! yeah it does at that, but the smell should tell you it's not! had chives that hubs kept cutting down thinking it was grass.

9:03 pm

cosdem

my snuggie is clean now! yay

9:03 pm

lbdawger

happy for cos and clean snuggie

9:03 pm

Jillyjill

*hands cos his crocs*

9:03 pm

lbdawger

9:04 pm

cosdem

9:05 pm

uusue2

Hi again all!

9:05 pm

Jillyjill

Hello uusue...how are you and how is Frank?

9:05 pm

uusue2

Hi Jill, I am good, Frank is ok.

9:06 pm

uusue2

Still learning the hard way what not to eat.

9:06 pm

Jillyjill

I assume you are keeping a list?

9:06 pm

Jillyjill

And has his scope been scheduled yet?

9:07 pm

uusue2

Sort of. I tried to get him to write things down, but his diet is so limited it's not hard to remember.

9:07 pm

Nef

back.

9:07 pm

uusue2

Colonoscopy October 30.

9:08 pm

uusue2

Hi nef!

9:08 pm

MollyL

*Thinks Mr. Jilly has a clever way to get out of weeding*

9:08 pm

uusue2

Hi Molly!

9:08 pm

Nef

You still better have him write down a list now,sue. Once he's feeling better, I know that it's easy to forget what works and what doesn't

9:09 pm

uusue2

Will do, nef.

9:10 pm

Minveryork

Hello uusue2! How are you doing today? Welcome to chog.

9:10 pm

uusue2

Hi, min! Good to see you!

9:11 pm

Nef

A neighbor of ours developed Crohn's when she was in her late 20's; it took her over a decade to learn that she had to eat a very restricted diet (and no booze!)

9:11 pm

uusue2

Yeah, he's nowhere near trying booze at this point.

9:11 pm

Jillyjill

Kinda true Molly, but after he had to medically retire he is a lot more active with the garden. Just not when they are little plants.

9:12 pm

uusue2

Right now his "no" list is things like ice cream and tuna.

9:13 pm

MollyL

: ( : ( No ice cream : ( : (

9:13 pm

Nef

is he doing well with retirement, Jilly? Has it been an easy change for him? (my DH is still struggling with it)

9:13 pm

Jillyjill

@ uusue: glad to hear it uusue. (the scope) They should definitly get biopsies from his terminal ileum and do random biopsies througout colon.

9:13 pm

uusue2

Yes, I believe that's the plan, jilly, assuming they can get as far as the ileum.

9:14 pm

lbdawger

hi uu

9:14 pm

MollyL

Poor Frank. His colon is the subject of internet chat.

9:14 pm

Jillyjill

You know nef, he is doing really well. Great attitude and meds seem to be holding him fine. Almost some improvement...but maybe it's just less stress with so much now behind us

9:14 pm

Nef

Could someone please give me the stats or a clue for that 2nd column, 4th row R please? My brain is numb trying to figure that one out

9:14 pm

uusue2

Hi lbd!

9:14 pm

Jillyjill

Yep molls....nothing is sacred here!!

9:15 pm

uusue2

Not well done, nef (for that r)

9:15 pm

MollyL

Take the c off the area of your body where your genitals are Nef.

9:16 pm

MollyL

Oh wait, that's not it.

9:16 pm

Jillyjill

See, now we're into genitals!

9:16 pm

Jillyjill

uusue is corrct

9:16 pm

Jillyjill

*correct

9:16 pm

Nef

that's so good to hear, Jilly. DH just seemed to get depressed.

9:16 pm

Nef

Thank you all for that R!

9:17 pm

Jillyjill

Well, some of it is the disease I fear...a little emotional lability.

9:17 pm

Jillyjill

His mom is like that..flat affect

9:18 pm

uusue2

((((Jilly)))) sorry you and hubby are having to deal with that :-(

9:19 pm

Nef

And that was the wrong R again....

9:19 pm

Jillyjill

thanks uusue, but all is good right now, I sometimes get a little down, like today, a friend whose husband is in pretty advanced stage, was in church...don't want to thik of the future :-(

9:19 pm

Jillyjill

hmm

9:20 pm

Jillyjill

how about what a lion does?

9:20 pm

uusue2

Really, nef? Even the cooked meat one?

9:21 pm

Nef

(((Jilly))) Just take it a day at a time. We are so lucky to have so much knowledge and medication for these deseases now

9:21 pm

Jillyjill

I know, and we are about to go to Hawaii...so I just have to enjoy each and every day!!

9:21 pm

MollyL

I think it is the not well done R

9:22 pm

Jillyjill

Looking at the grid, it HAS to be the meat one..

9:22 pm

uusue2

Have a great trip, if I don't see you again before you go, jilly!

9:22 pm

Nef

Thansk, it was the not well done one.

9:23 pm

Jillyjill

We leave on the 1st, so hopefully I will see you in the grid uusue...but thank you!!

9:24 pm

MollyL

9:32 pm

sprite

9:32 pm

cosdem

I just loved how everyone commented "OMG!" on that lol

9:33 pm

sprite

9:34 pm

MollyL

The Hook guy looks like Joseph Fiennes who is hotter than ANYONE.

cosdem

9:35 pm

Nef

9:35 pm

jmcnrick

i could have wiped out my bill if i didn't put in the deck and made it all solar power

9:35 pm

MollyL

That was Ralph.

9:36 pm

MollyL

Joseph was Shakespeare In Love and Flash Forward.

9:36 pm

Nef

Night lbd!

9:39 pm

Jacula

I headed for my new pillow about 3 hours ago and found Other Half lying on MY new pillow on MY side of the bed snoring and drooling. He says he prefers a feather pillow. I prefer a foam pillow. If he prefers a feather pillow why does he always pinch my foam one??

9:40 pm

sprite

lol indeed!

9:40 pm

jmcnrick

he hopes to find you on it?

9:40 pm

Jillyjill

wow jac..Is he still alive?

9:41 pm

jmcnrick

stats for the 4th row i please

9:41 pm

Jacula

lol jmc! No! He has to go to bed between 9-10pm as he is a trucker who has early starts.

9:41 pm

Jacula

Jilly - he is, but he won't be if he does it again!

9:41 pm

Jillyjill

I would have killed mine!

9:41 pm

uusue2

Giants win! Frank happy!

9:41 pm

9:42 pm

MollyL

Time to start hiding the pillow.

9:42 pm

9:42 pm

Nef

what you scratch, jmc

9:42 pm

jmcnrick

yay giants!

9:42 pm

Jacula

Molly - there's a thought!

9:42 pm

jmcnrick

good job!

9:45 pm

Jillyjill

Somehow missing ruru's comments with jo5/20 and ro5/14.....

9:45 pm

sprite

lol!

9:45 pm

Jacula

Molly - he is exactly that. He starts off on his own side of the bed and them migrates to mine because it is cooler. If I am on my side at the time, he then breathes warm air on the back of my neck so I leap out of bed due to having a night sweat.

9:46 pm

Jillyjill

There are some reasons for separate bedrooms...*sigh*

9:46 pm

Jacula

Jilly - not seen ruru's comments but do you need clues for those two words?

9:46 pm

MollyL

No kidding Jilly.

9:47 pm

jmcnrick

i do jac. . . feel free

9:47 pm

Jillyjill

No, been finished for awhile...just thinking of what he would say!

9:47 pm

sprite

in some cases separate bedrooms can save a marriage

9:47 pm

sprite

that sneaky darn S in the corner is hiding and making me forget lots of plurals!

9:47 pm

Jillyjill

I have debated that one, we have such different sleep schedules...but also hate not to spend every good moment with him

9:48 pm

jmcnrick

my method of dealing with my hubby as bed hog won't work for you since your partner goes to bed before you . . . the last thing i would say to him before we went to sleep was that if he encroached i would kick him hard. . . it only took about a month to train him

9:48 pm

Jacula

jmc - jo5/20 - what part of the body an ankle or a knee is, or something you smoke. ro5/14 = either a type of fresh water fish or the cigarette packet edge you roll up to make a filter for a jo5/20.

9:49 pm

sprite

having separate bedrooms does not mean you cannot sleep together, or cuddle together, or wake up together. It just means you have a choice.

9:49 pm

Nef

I've thought about it too. DH uses a CPAP mask; but doesn't always wear it; he takes it off while asleep.

9:49 pm

sprite

lol jmc!

9:49 pm

jmcnrick

ah ty jac

9:49 pm

rururocks

oh god.. I've been playing babble for years with druggies

9:49 pm

your remarks were very much wanted, ruru

9:50 pm

jmcnrick

i dusted off my bong a couple of nights ago for weed in the chog

9:50 pm

MollyL

Fire it up!!

9:50 pm

Jacula

ruru - lol!

9:50 pm

jmcnrick

*pulls the bong out again*

9:51 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...ahhh...the memories!

9:51 pm

Jacula

Not for me, jmc. Weed gives me a headache and nothing else.

9:51 pm

sprite

never ever used it

9:51 pm

Jillyjill

And hello (((ruru)))!!

9:52 pm

9:57 pm

rururocks

9:57 pm

Jacula

Molly - thanks for the Irish whiskey but I don't drinks spirits either. I enjoy the very occasional glass of Irish coffee with Jameson's in it, but otherwise I just use it in cooking.

9:57 pm

*poof*

10:00 pm

Jacula

'Bye uusue.x

10:00 pm

jmcnrick

10:00 pm

MollyL

10:00 pm

jmcnrick

10:00 pm

Jillyjill

10:02 pm

jmcnrick

10:03 pm

Pinikula

10:03 pm

Pinikula

10:03 pm

jmcnrick

10:03 pm

Jacula

'Night Nef and anyone else who is going.

10:03 pm

jmcnrick

when i opened it the first time it was big

10:03 pm

Pinikula

oh, good...

10:03 pm

Jacula

That cake's made me feel hungry, but I will not be tempted.

10:03 pm

MollyL

Actually, it looks like a combination cake/cupcake tree. Very nice.

10:04 pm

Pinikula

sorry, jac!

10:04 pm

jmcnrick

it is lovely

10:04 pm

Pinikula

yes, Molly...2 tiers on the very top (1 to "save"), the other to eat, with the rest of the "tree" in cupcakes

10:04 pm

Jacula

Don't be sorry, Pini.

10:05 pm

jmcnrick

cupcakes are such a good idea. . .people always give me too much cake and the cupcake is a control on the size

fairy cakes? i have heard of them but do not actually know what they are

10:06 pm

Jacula

Well, unless you eat 4 fairy cakes at a time, which is about equivalent to one cup cake!

10:07 pm

Pinikula

I've never heard of fairy cakes...plz elaborate?

10:07 pm

jmcnrick

like petit fors?

10:07 pm

Pinikula

kinda like petifours?

10:07 pm

Pinikula

(if that's the right spelling)

10:07 pm

Jacula

fairy cakes, jmc are little sponge cakes topped with icing etc.

10:07 pm

Pinikula

GMTA jmc...

10:08 pm

Jacula

Kinda like petit fours but round and only the tops have icing and stuff on them.

10:08 pm

MollyL

I think it's the British version of cup cakes

10:08 pm

Pinikula

ahhh ... either way...sounds nice!

10:08 pm

jmcnrick

i was looking and one pic from uk showed tiny cupcakes

10:08 pm

Jacula

Molly - No, it's not. Fairy cakes came 70 years before the cupcake. They are smaller, much smaller.

10:09 pm

jmcnrick

of course i had to scroll through dozens of cakes with fairies on them

10:09 pm

jmcnrick

i think fairy cakes would be ideal for me. . . just a bite!

10:10 pm

MollyL

Do a search on British fairy cakes

10:10 pm

Jacula

Butterfly cakes are fairy cakes with a circle scooped out of the middle, the hole is filled wwith buttercream icing and the circle cut out is cut in half and put back on top of the cake in the form of a pair of wings.

10:10 pm

jmcnrick

oh cool jac!

10:11 pm

MollyL

Butterfly cakes, fairy cakes, it's all so whimsical.

10:11 pm

Jacula

jmc - lol re your Google search. I will make some of both (fairy and butterfly cakes) soon and post pics for you.

10:11 pm

Pinikula

looking at the british fairy cakes...very dainty :)

10:11 pm

cosdem

She's not the one with the sauna, mercedes and room for a pony. (watching Hyacinth)

10:11 pm

jmcnrick

so cute!

10:12 pm

Jacula

Pini - it was all about Afternoon Tea.

10:12 pm

MollyL

We would make them in what we call mini muffin tins.

10:12 pm

jmcnrick

cosd seems to be out of the loop here ;-)

10:12 pm

Jacula

Molly - you sound so cynical.

10:12 pm

Pinikula

makes sense, jac...I love afternoon teas!

10:13 pm

MollyL

It's joking Jac, not cynicism.

10:13 pm

jmcnrick

whimsical is good

10:13 pm

Jacula

Moly - mini muffin tin sounds about right for the baking tin size. Each cake hole is about a third of the size of that in a muffin tin.

10:14 pm

Pinikula

nothing like a little inspiration to think about baking...

10:14 pm

jmcnrick

well maybe i will pass this all on to my nieces partner who is making his riches selling donuts in brooklyn

10:14 pm

Jacula

Molly - re joking. Oh, okay. I see it now after your tin post.

10:15 pm

jmcnrick

almost makes me wish i could bake

10:16 pm

Jacula

jmc - if your nieces can get money for fairy cakes, well-risen ones, they will spend far less than they do on making cupcakes and so will make more profit.

10:16 pm

jmcnrick

my roomie is a good baker. . . maybe i could get her to bake some

10:16 pm

Jacula

jmc - anyone can bake! It's not that hard.

10:16 pm

Pinikula

<-- is a good icer....but baking...well that's another story

10:16 pm

jmcnrick

that was what i was thinking. . . he could bake the fairy cakes in between waiting for the donuts to rise

10:17 pm

Jacula

Jacula is now waiting for Molly to tell her that her fairy cakes vs cupcakes post was cynical.:-)

10:17 pm

jmcnrick

no no really jac. . .hubby could bake. . .i am a fabulous cook but at my house warming my guests made me throw out the lemon bars i made. . .

10:18 pm

Jacula

jmc - Blimey! What happened to your lemon bars?

10:19 pm

Pinikula

* can't wait to hear this *

10:19 pm

jmcnrick

well they tasted so bad that people were gagging. . . so my boy told me to toss them and all my guests agreed

10:19 pm

Pinikula

poor thing!

10:19 pm

Jacula

jmc - did you add salt instead of sugar?

10:19 pm

jmcnrick

only thing i can bake is pecan pie and bourbon balls (which require no baking)

10:20 pm

Jacula

Or too much lemon for the mix?

10:20 pm

jmcnrick

no i swear i did not. . .they were sweet but horrible

10:20 pm

jmcnrick

i have a black thumb when it come to baking

10:20 pm

Jacula

jmc - have you got a copy of the recipe you used? I'd be interested to see it.

10:20 pm

Pinikula

brb

10:20 pm

jmcnrick

lord i will have to look it up again. . .

10:21 pm

jmcnrick

i do make good pecan pies with ready made crusts

10:21 pm

jmcnrick

its good to know your limits

10:21 pm

Jacula

jmc - would be good if you could. I'd really like to see it and work out how it could have gone wrong.

10:21 pm

Jacula

Yes, it is good to know your limits.

10:22 pm

Jacula

brb.

10:25 pm

jmcnrick

well i am afraid i am going to sneak out now with 136 left. . .i am getting a headache so want to go to bed to ward it off and gets up all bright eyed and bushy tailed tomorrow!

10:25 pm

jmcnrick

bye all

10:27 pm

Jacula

'bye jmc. Don't forget to find that recipe for me when you're bright-eyed and bushy-tailed again.x

10:29 pm

Jacula

Well, I've checked on the bed situation again - he's on his own side now but has taken the duvet with him. I've been in, yanked the duvet back to equal sides again

10:31 pm

Jacula

I've heard his alarm go off once. It will go off 3 more times before he gets up. Once I've said hello and 'bye 'bye (he's off trucking for the week again), Ill wait for my side of the bed to cool down/dry off and go for 8 hours' zzzzing.

10:33 pm

Jacula

As a writer, I don't have to keep the hours 'regular' folks do, but I do still need my sleep and I do still need time to myself to write. I can write at night but prefer to do it in the day, if possible.

10:34 pm

Jacula

If that sounded 'unloving' it's giving the wrong impression about our relationship. Anyway, does anyone need a Babble clue before I go?

10:36 pm

Jacula

Actually, I'll get about 6 hours' sleep, since I rarely sleep beyond 11am, unless alcohol has been involved the night before.

10:37 pm

Jacula

Last time of asking - does anyone need any clues or stats?

10:38 pm

Pinikula

back...

10:38 pm

Pinikula

I'm good, jac...thx :o)

10:40 pm

Jacula

Okay, I'm off now, Pini. Happy Babbling!

10:40 pm

Pinikula

night, jac...take care

10:40 pm

rururocks

so Pini.. how's life?

10:41 pm

Pinikula

it's going, ru...a bit calmer now...*sigh of relief*

10:41 pm

Pinikula

how about yourself?

10:41 pm

rururocks

fine for me..

10:41 pm

Pinikula

good to hear ;-)

10:41 pm

rururocks

this is our big selling season now (I hope)... so I'll be busy for a bit

10:41 pm

rururocks

what was so NOT calm pini?

10:42 pm

Pinikula

'tis the season, eh, ru...lots of sale for the holidays?

10:42 pm

Pinikula

NOT calm was this past summer with work and the wedding...

10:42 pm

rururocks

here's hoping

10:42 pm

rururocks

10:43 pm

Pinikula

10:43 pm

Pinikula

<-- I was the one that more stressed than either of them

10:43 pm

rururocks

10:43 pm

rururocks

10:43 pm

Pinikula

10:44 pm

Pinikula

there was only one awkward moment...

10:44 pm

rururocks

there gets to be a point at a wedding.. were it just needs to happen and there's nothing more you can do ..

10:45 pm

rururocks

.. oooh

10:45 pm

rururocks

what?

10:45 pm

Pinikula

ain't that the truth, ru!

10:45 pm

Pinikula

Camo boy didn't recognize Camo Mom in all her finery!

10:45 pm

rururocks

oh really?

10:46 pm

Pinikula

yeah, he said she had too much makeup on! LOL

10:46 pm

Pinikula

...and a DRESS!

10:46 pm

rururocks

oh LOL

10:47 pm

Pinikula

He did warm up ... but it took a little coaxing :)

10:47 pm

rururocks

I am going to a wedding in Vermont next year

10:47 pm

rururocks

I'm looking forward to it

10:47 pm

Pinikula

Oh, I bet it'll be pretty, ru!

10:48 pm

rururocks

I hope.. I'm going to take a week off and go

10:48 pm

rururocks

10:48 pm

Pinikula

10:48 pm

rururocks

my best friend's son

10:48 pm

rururocks

I don't have family

10:48 pm

Pinikula

10:48 pm

Pinikula

10:49 pm

rururocks

10:49 pm

rururocks

10:50 pm

Pinikula

10:50 pm

rururocks

I've been helping his son a lot

10:51 pm

Pinikula

with?

10:51 pm

rururocks

He just got a sommelier job at a TOP NYC restaurant and the wine list is overwhelming

10:51 pm

rururocks

I have been tutoring him through all the wines on the list

10:52 pm

Pinikula

Oh, how cool...to have a personal mentor!

10:52 pm

Pinikula

you rock!

10:52 pm

rururocks

he's lucky.. but man.. is he picking up stuff fast

10:52 pm

rururocks

he's amazingly smart.. and a born salesman

10:53 pm

Pinikula

even better...a quick study and a willingness to do well in his new career!

10:53 pm

rururocks

He can't believe I know every vintage for everything going back to 1878

10:53 pm

rururocks

I told him I have 30 years in the biz on him

10:53 pm

Pinikula

WOW! I'm impressed, too!!!

10:54 pm

rururocks

nah.. I have photgraphic memory for wine somehow.. that's all

10:54 pm

Pinikula

still, that's quite impressive! :)

10:54 pm

rururocks

I really don't know why or how

10:54 pm

rururocks

I can't remember who ran with clinton

10:54 pm

rururocks

but wine I remember

10:55 pm

Pinikula

I know what you mean...

10:55 pm

rururocks

so now that the wedding is over.. are they happy?

10:55 pm

Pinikula

My strongest "remember" thing is our family's genealogy...no one else is interested, but ask me just about anything and I can cough it right up.

10:56 pm

rururocks

that's good to know though

10:56 pm

Pinikula

they're very happy now, ru...she's happy to have the same name as Camo Boy and Camo Dad...it's been long awaited...
